Halele’a is a beautiful cardigan worked initially in parts (right and left fronts and back). All are then seamed and picked up along the bottom to add textured detail to lower part of the cardigan. Sleeves are worked flat and also picked up along the bottom edge to mirror the textured detail of body. Pattern includes open front or buttoned cardigan, in 2 different sleeve lengths, as well as a vest option. For more information see the blog post here.
